When I was at school my music teacher used to teach us old songs. I have a couple of lines of a song in my head but I can't remember the rest. Can anyone help me? It was something like this:

I have a red sombero, it is a big sombrero
I only wear it because the sunshine gets in my eyes and I cannot see at all.

Any help would be appreciated. It's been driving me mad for years.

Yes! It's haunted me since about 1988/9, unfortunately I can only remember those lyrics, but I do remember it being part of a BBC (?) series "singing together".

RED SOMBRERO
(Peter Hutchings)

I wear a red sombrero,
It is a big sombrero.
I only wear it
Because the sunshine
Gets in my eyes and I cannot see at all.

I have a little donkey,
He is a happy donkey.
He always takes me
Into the market
When I go shopping
To buy some food and wine.

I have a stripey blanket,
It is a coloured blanket.
It keeps me nice and
Warm in the night time
When I am sleeping
Under the silver moon.

I wear a red sombrero,
It is a big sombrero.
I only wear it
Because the sunshine
Gets in my eyes and I cannot see at all.
My sombrero is the biggest hat in the world.
